Great editor :-)
Users get (very) confused to the point where they in fact need support, out of one small but troublesome issue:
It happens when clicking "below" the area where there are existing lines of text, but most confusing at the moment when there is no content there at all (when starting a new post).
If you dont click _exactly_ on the line where there is in fact a line (only the first line in a new post), then the cursor will disappear, the body text field will _not_ be enabled, and you cannot enter any text. Only if you click exactly on that first blank line, the cursor is inserted visibly and typing can begin.
Wnen you have multiple lines , also if clicking below the last line, the cursor disappear and the body text field is no longer selected/active. This is contrary to what we are used to from other editors: Clicking below the last line inserts the cursor at the end of the document, visibly, ready to add more. This all happens even when clicking within the boundaries of the body text field.
I think this almost qualifies as "critical", as it leads to confusion for most new users.

PS. This happens with Firefox 3.0.3, havent gotten around to test in other browsers, but FF3x is the one who is conquering the world, right? ;-)

I am working on openWYSIWYG 6.x now. Please upgrade to Drupal 6.

I will. Is this fixed in the version for Drupal 6?

Please help by testing. I am suing 6.x -1.x-APLHA2 and look like already fixed.
